1977 Pontiac Lemans Can Am on 2040-cars
Conifer, Colorado, United States
This auction is for a a rare 1977 Pontiac Lemans Can Am. One of 1377 sold in 1977. The cars history is known since new. The car was sold new in Nebraska and came with the Pontiac 400 (TA 6.6) and Turbo 400 automatic transmission. The options included air conditioning, AM/FM/8 Track and the Can Am package which included the white paint, graphics kit, G80 limited slip rear, the (low altitude) TA6.6 Pontiac 400 coupled to the Turbo 400 automatic, Radial Tuned Suspension, Rally II wheels, shaker hood and the infamous duck tail spoiler.
While the car was sold new in Nebraska it spent almost all of its life in and around Denver, CO. Sometime in the late 80's the engine threw a rod through the water jacket and the car was refitted with a 1976 Grand Prix 455 V8 and the transmission from the 455 as well. In 1990 a bent push rod caused the owner to park the car in a storage locker for the next twenty one years. The car shows 132,000 miles on the odometer and I have been told by the original owner that that is correct. The car is in need of a complete rebuild and needs paint, engine, interior including dash restoration, carpet and seats. All parts are present. The car is virtually rust free. The frame, rockers, floor pans, fenders, quarters (right side behind tire has a spot of rust about 1/4" in diameter), hood and deck lid are very solid with no rust through.. For the most part the car only needs blasting/sanding, door ding repairs and paint. Trim is decent but could use some polish and a couple of small dent repairs. Car could use a full set of weatherstripping. The drivers side door was dented in a parking lot in the mid 80's and re-skinned. It has rust at the bottom of the door. At the time of the door re-skin both lower sides of the car were repainted. Included in the auction is a replacement drivers side door from a 1977 Lemans in excellent condition with no rust and original green paint. The black padded dash is in very bad condition although possibly restoreable but also included in the auction is a full dash in Red from another Can Am. The black front seats need restoring and two extra Can Am Parchment seats are included. Along with the 1976 455 that is in the car, the original engine and transmission are included as well as a 1978 Pontiac TA6.6 out of a 1978 Trans Am. Another Pontiac Turbo 400 from another Can Am is included. The 455 ran when I purchased it and it moved under its own power onto a trailer and into the garage. The 455 currently has the intake and heads sitting in place but not installed. There is a full set of 3M brand Can Am graphics from Phoenix Graphics included. These have been stored in the house and are in the container they came in. They appear to be like new. I don't know if they have a shelf life but they at least four years old. The car comes with a clear title and some original paperwork including the original sales invoice and some factory documents stating this Can Am's authenticity. I have had the car for a few years and started collecting parts and started to remove the engine. Too many other projects got in the way and I have decided to sell this Can Am. 5 or less feedback bidders please contact me prior to bidding or I will cancel your bid. Cash at time of pickup or if a cashiers check car will be released only when funds clear. Any questions please contact at me. |

2008-2009 Pontiac G8 recalled over airbag concern
Mon, 07 Nov 2011General Motors is recalling around 38,000 Pontiac G8 sedans from its 2008 and 2009 model years. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration reports that the cars may have a passenger-side airbag flaw that might prevent proper deployment in certain scenarios.
According to NHTSA, the airbag might not adequately protect a fifth percentile woman - that is, a woman around four-foot, 11-inches weighing 108 pounds. The New York Times indicates that the anomaly was found during a crash test conducted by GM's Australian branch, Holden, which was testing the G8's twin (read: Commodore) for head injuries. According to that report, the test in question is specifically tailored to simulate injuries to females, so the results do not apply to men or children.
The issue has been blamed on a seat position sensor that governs airbag deployment rates. NHTSA indicates that when the front passenger seat is moved all the way forward, the faulty sensor may inappropriately trigger a 30-millisecond delay between airbag stages, potentially leading to greater injuries.
eBay Find of the Day: 1967 Pontiac GTO Monkeemobile
Sun, 29 Apr 2012Say what you will about The Monkees, but the guys in the band had great taste in automobiles. Take the Monkeemobile, for example. Built off a 1967 Pontiac GTO Convertible, the custom featured genuinely interesting bodywork and some wild engine bolt-ons. If you're a fan of 1960s pop and yearn to relive the genre's glory days, eBay Motors may have what you need. A recreation of the 1967 Monkeemobile has showed up for auction. This particular replica was built by Dakota County Customs using an four-speed GTO, just like the original.
Built for the band's 45th anniversary and the final Monkees tour last year, this Monkeemobile is faithful down to every last detail. Unfortunately, the trumpet exhaust poking out of the front fender wells and the massive gold-flake blower are for show only. Seems fitting.
If you like what you see, this machine is up for bid in Richfield, Minnesota with two days left on the auctions. So far, bidding as whipped up to $60,000 with the reserve not met. Head over to eBay Motors to have a look.
GM recalling over 40,000 Chevy, Pontiac and Saturn models over fuel pump woes
Mon, 01 Oct 2012The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has issued a recall for a number of General Motors cars and crossovers bought or currently registered in the hot-climate states of Arkansas, Arizona, California, Nevada, Oklahoma and Texas. As many as 40,859 units consisting of the 2007 Chevrolet Equinox, Pontiac Torrent and Saturn Ion and the 2007-2009 Chevrolet Cobalt (shown) and its Pontiac G5 twin are being recalled for potential fuel leaks.
This recall is being issued due to potentially faulty fuel pump components that can crack and cause gasoline to leak from the return or supply ports and possibly cause a fire. NHTSA has not indicated how many fuel leaks or vehicle fires have been reported. As a fix, GM will replace the fuel pump modules on all affected vehicles free of charge. Since Pontiac and Saturn have been shuttered, owners will be able to go to another GM-brand dealership to have their vehicles repaired.
While the list of affected cars and crossovers varies by state and model year, if you own any of these models and live in Arizona, California, Florida, Nevada, Oklahoma or Texas, be sure to check the official notice below for more details.
